1961 Dual-Ghia 325

2002 Concours Italian Style

Aug 1, 2002

This was the prototype for a run of 26 cars that were marketed as the Ghia L 6.4. All were powered by Chrysler 383 cubic inch (6.4 liter) V-8s making 325 hp, which purportedly propelled all 4100 pounds of this vehicle to a top speed of 139 mph. The production cars had a slightly higher roofline and many other detail changes, but all were regarded as highly reliable, owing to their well-proven Chrysler mechanicals. This car has only had cosmetic restoration work done, no mechanical refurbishment, and its owner drove it to Michigan from Massachusetts for this event.
